Do I have abs or not?

When I bought the 1990 80 Quattro, the ad stated that the car has abs. Now he did state that the master cylinder needed replacing. He included a used replacement.  Now this is like the MC that I removed from the quattro.

At first I did not notice that the two are different. Not until all the brake fluid leaked onto the floor.
After reading the bentley guide, I still can not find the abs unit. I traced the brake line and it goes from the proport. valve to the wheel. It never goes to the abs unit. So I think the car had abs, got into an accident and to cheaply fix it, replaced the brakes with non-abs brakes. My problem now is I don't know which MC to buy. I think the non-abs master cylinder. Any opinions? Thanks
